I was not able to go here because they were just about to close but the guy that answered the phone went out of his way to call another place and make sure they would take me when I had an emergency with my battery. Very grateful for that person.

I was worried being a single mom about being ripped off. They were so helpful in explaining and showing me the issues with my car. I will never use another auto repair shop except Folly Road Auto.

They have and always do the best work, and at an amazing price that lets me actually live after fixing my car. I can always depend on them. Ive lived in Charleston for about 6 years and I only go to the Fipps family!

Great service! Squeezed me in at the last hour of business between 4 and 5. Very affordable mechanics around the area by far. Brake job across the street wanted me to use there parts and insist on calibers and rotors for no less then 400 bucks. I bought the brake pads and oil right next door at auto zone and save half ability paying 140 after tax. This guys are life savers! Especially considering the 20% spike inflation this past week, especially with gas. 😒

The entire FIPPS family is a delight to work with and they do an all around amazing job. This is me if the best family owners business out here and near a busy highway. Drive slow and safe, it is a busy highway and cars come in + out of the shop

Very happy with quick turn, complete explanation and very fair pricing on my Camry. Excellent work! Thank you!!!

This is the only place I’ll take my Jeep to have work done. They’re reasonably priced and don’t try to push unnecessary repairs or improvements. Joey does a great job and always explains what he fixed and why he did it. Would 100% recommend these guys to anyone.

They took a look at my car without an appointment and did a quick diagnosis on my car, let me know in minutes what was wrong. They didn’t charge me anything to take a look. They were quick, nice, and professional. It ended up being my check engine light needed to be reset after my oil change and it wasn’t. It was a nice piece of mind. Thanks again guys!

Very good news about my car.

Great staff. Owner run it great. Nice guy felt that as t I got great service at a great as t price. They do all our cars.

Extremely knowledgeable and offer the best prices for the level of services thats provided. Your car will be thanking you!

Great repairs, they go the extra distance to get the best for their customers

Definitely recommend! While on a trip with students from our church to Folly, a freon line busted on a 15 passenger minibus. These vehicles are notorious for a/c problems and when the a/c worked prior, it is mediocre at best. After dropping the bus off, not only did they replace the broken line, but took the time to dig deeper and figure out why the line busted and repaired the cause. In the end, the a/c works better than it ever has. So much so that on the way home, we had to turn the air off in mid August because the inside had gotten so cold.To top it off, when we arrived to pick up the bus from Folly Road Auto Repair, we were driving our other 15 passenger minibus. We mentioned how much colder the bus he repaired was compared to the one that we drove up in. So, Joey diagnoses and fixes it right then and there, free of charge.You can not find a nicer shop with more knowledgeable techs. These guys could easily take advantage of vulnerable tourists, yet they extend care and kindness to customers they will likely never see again as well as locals.

I have used Folly Road Repair for the last 3 years. Very pleased with the work and staff

Great place! Me and my husband was here on our Anniversary when our truck started running hot. They had us up and running within 2 hours. We were very thankful for Folly Beach repair shop.

I defiantly recommend going to Folly Road Auto Repair! Fair prices, on time, and they didnt haggle me. Danielle was really cheery, and made for a pleasant visit. I will for sure be going back again!

We had a great experience with Folly Road Auto Repair! You never want to have car problems when on vacation, but this family owned business really took care of us and got us on our way. Could not be more thankful for this family and company. Thank you very much.

The gentlemen here were very professional, fair in price and did an excellent on the spot inspection of my vehicle. I would recommend for anyone looking for an honest mechanic you can trust!

We are residents of Folly Beach. A week ago, i was on my way to the Upstate. I had a small emergency with my car. Stopped in at Folly Beach Auto Repair. Joel kindly fixed the problem, and I was on my way again.Exceptionally nice people. Glad to know that we have a neighborhood auto repair shop! Will be our go to place.

Great people! Great service!

Great place! Fixed my AC problem right away for much less then I thought. More then fair. Definitely coming back.

Superb, friendly, no-nonsense service at an affordable price. FRAR diagnosed and installed a new starter in my 2007 Ford Explorer today. I couldnt ask for a better experience. Ive always preferred long-established, locally-owned shops to do business over that of corporate establishments. I had that in Maine. Now, I know my go-to place in Charleston. Thank you, Folly Road Auto Repair.

Thank you Joey and his staff at Folly Road Auto Repair center.....Husband and I was in Folly for vacation and what do you know my car doesn’t want to start it had to do with the key..... I had my car towed there and would you believe by 9am my car was ready for me to be picked I was so worried about getting it fixed cause I had to be out of the beach house by 10 am....Thank you again everyone there...Tammy and Rick

I live in Pennsylvania and hit a pot hole and blew out my shock 20 miles from Charleston on my way to visit my mom in Florida. I thought my whole wheel and tire was gonna come off I called Folly Road auto repair and they said bring it right over.These people are so wonderful. Joe, my technician was amazing. What a wonderful person and mechanic.They fixed me up for a great price and make you feel like family. You shouldDefinitely do business with people like this!!You just don’t find that anymore.The son of the business is a tech too. He is going to take over when dad retires. He is a great level headed young man that will keepIt going for sureThanks for helping me.

I thought I was having issues with my transmission while on vacation. They drove my truck around and checked everything out to find there was nothing wrong. I have oversized tires on my truck and figured I should have more pulling power even with the tires. He didn’t charge me a dime and was extremely nice and helpful! I highly recommend them! Thank y’all again!

Absolutely wonderful service. Had a fantastic experience with Joey and his crew. Had driven down to Charleston for the day. Our first stop was Folly Beach. Our Excursion broke down. I Google searched for a local mechanic and saw all the good reviews for this shop. Had our vehicle towed to them. He told me that he thought it was a fuel pump and quoted me a price. Understanding that I really didnt have a choice I told him to fix it. I was curious so I called my mechanic back home to see if the price was fair. Folly Road Auto Repair was actually a good bit less expensive than I was quoted by my mechanic back home. Within a few hours he had is fixed and back on the road. You will not be disappointed with the shop.

Dropped by to get an error code read as we passed through the area on vacation . The place was very busy but they took time to do a quick read to make sure nothing major was happening. Nice people.

Came in to town to relax and then had sudden car trouble. Every place up the road was booked solid and wouldnt take the time of day to tighten a few bolts. These guys squeezed me in and even took the extra measure to check EVERY bolt in my suspension. I dont normally write reviews, but I felt these fellas deserved it. Thank you for your help, guys!

Very good to deal with.

Joey and his staff are excellent and trustworthy. He will be honest with you about what you do and dont need. His pricing is affordable and they do great work. They provide the best auto repair experience Ive had to date in Charleston and Ive lived here for 10 years or so. Id add a sixth star, but there is not an option for that! Trust them with your business.

Our AC went out in the car while on vacation. We had made an appointment at the Firestone store because we knew of someone who worked there. They put us out 3 days and then called and moved the appointment again the day before. We decided to look elsewhere. I had noticed this place while out and about so we called. He said come on down and I will do it now. We did and in 40 minutes we had ice cold air again for $100. Thank you so much!!

Had a problem with my transmission, it started shuddering while on vacation on Folly Island. I was afraid it was a bad torque converter and would be a costly repair. Joey said he was fairly sure the transmission just needed to be serviced. They serviced the transmission and it sorted everything out. They are honest and fair. I would recommend Folly Road Auto Repair to anyone.

This place is awesome! I use to live on James Island and used them on several different occasions for several different cars. They have always been very fair, honest, straightforward and friendly. Every time we have worked with them we have gotten other opinions, but Folly Road Auto is consistently the most knowledgeable and most reasonably priced.

Good people, great work, and a fair price. They fixed it same day. Very satisfied.

Excellent service. Very timely with their repairs and shared knowledge on future issues that may arise with this vehicle. I took my truck in for a diagnosis and oil change and he shared, very professionally, what condition my vehicle was in and that I should not waste much money on it as it was at the end of its life instead of trying to sell me things I didnt need. Would recommend if you are worried about a shop taking advantage of you because they wont.

On the way down from Pennsylvania my 2006 Forester blew a cam seal and was pouring out oil. Out of five places that I called, Folly Road was the only place that had time to diagnose the problem within a week, let alone do the repairs. They told me what was wrong within a couple hours and had it fixed the next day. Friendly, quality service, and we made it back home without a hitch in our vacation schedule!

This shop is filled with helpful and knowledgable people. They are nice people who price repairs fairly. Highly recommend!

If your looking for a family run, honest and reliable shop. This is your spot. They have always treated me fair. These guys even helped me out one Sunday when my truck was having issues. 98 and humid, they still bust but to get your vehicle fixed. Great people.

Was here from out of town and discovered a fuel leak. Gave these guys a call, they were able to get me in right away. Within hours they identified the problem, said they needed to let the patch cure overnight, picked it up the next day with everything good as new. No muss, no fuss, it was awesome and price was perfect. I wouldnt hesitate to make these guys my everyday mechanics if I lived here.

Friendly prompt and quality service

An honest, family-run shop. Was on a long road trip and stopped in with an engine issue. They fit me in that very day, checked out the engine, and had me out the door in no time. Highly recommend.

Start here if you are in the James Island/Charleston area and need peace of mind for repairs.I was in Charleston with my parents and middle son visiting our eldest son, a cadet at The Citadel. After driving from Atlanta on a Friday, we had a number of activities that ended with an evening grocery run. Went to the parking lot, where our 2005 Honda minivan suddenly sputtered and coughed when trying to start. Saturday morning early, I was able to get it started and drive in search of a place to help. I had seen reviews of Folly Road Auto Repair and pulled in around 7:45AM. I found Joey and explained the problems I had. He had a dozen employees in camo; as I was leaving after he told me they would take care of it, I found out that in fact they were closed. His crew was clearing a lot next door as they plan an expansion.By noon, a new radiator was replaced. Joeys brother Daniel took care of the repairs personally. To be able to make these repairs quickly and effectively while taking the time to explain everything would garner a 5-star rating. To help someone when the store is closed and everyone is working their tails off clearing trees and brush? Well, you rarely see that anywhere. Good luck to Joey, Daniel, and all the staff at Folly Road Auto Repair.

Best auto repair shop anywhere! Honest fabulous work.

Fast. Polite. I recommend.

Joey you excel in customer service! Thank you kindly for taking good care of my 1999 Yukon GMC and coming to get me whenever needed so that I dont have to walk/jog in 90 degree Charleston heat. It is extremely comforting knowing that when I need repairs I have yall to go to and can count on knowledgeable and honest answers!

Great place

Great shop! Joey is the nicest mechanic I’ve ever dealt with. Will definitely return.

I am so glad I found Folly Auto Repair! I can trust them to be honest about what needs to be done, as well as to let me know what doesnt or what can wait. Everyone there is kind, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Stay away from this place!!I wouldnt even rate them 1 star but had to in order to make this post.Had them replace a fuel pump and u bolts in my pickup.Broke my brake line installing my u bolts and sent me down the road.Stopped to get fuel at Harris Teeter, just down the road.Barely got stopped to turn in due to broken brake line.Had no brakes by the time I was trying to make the turn and put it in neutral to coast to slow down to make the turn onto their location upon my return to their shop and had no brake fluid in the reservoir upon my return.At Harris Teeter I attempted to put fuel in, fuel gushed out due to them not hooking up the fuel filler hose.Called Joey and he said bring it back.Hooked up filler hose and installed a new brake line and stated they bled the air out of the system but brakes werent working properly, no pedal and air in the lines when I left but after all of that I wouldnt let them fix anything else of mine.Went to another shop where they noted a smashed gas tank due to overtightening of the fuel tank which I installed 18 months prior to my visit myself but was physically unable to do this repair due to a recent surgery.I have done many major repairs to my vehicles over the years and I am probably better than most mechanics.Mechanic at other shop also noted that they only bled the front brakes due to noting the rear bleeders had not been disturbed due to surface rust and took me into the shop area where my truck was up on the lift and showed me.Other shop sprayed the bleeders in the rear with liquid wrench and properly bled all the brakes thus solving the problem.Stay away from this place.They about killed me sending me down the road with a broken brake line.Joeys mechanic pulled the truck out and didnt notice the pedal giving when they 1st sent me down the road.It was my intention to return after I got fuel to tell them about the brakes anyhow and then discovered the filler hose not being hooked up.Made a big scene at Harris Teeter with gas pouring out all over the fuel area.The clerk ran out and put oil dry down to contain the spill.They will never touch anything I own again.They caused more damage to my vehicle then it had when I took it there and could have caused me getting involved in an accident on Folly Rd.Definitely some unexperienced so called mechanics employed there.

Quick turnaround, really affordable pricing, reliable service, polite staff and I felt like they wanted to offer good service.I had a 2004 Mustang GT with clutch and window work, and I couldnt be happier.

Excellent service. In August I had 14 girls with me in a 15 passenger van for a 9 1/2 hour ride from MD to Folly (bachelorette weekend) and the AC was dying. I called the shop early Friday morning after we arrived in Folly and asked if there was any way that someone could look at the AC and get it fixed. They said sure ... bring it on in as soon as you can. We arrived at the shop (which was very busy) and they immediately pulled the van up to one of the bays and started looking at it. He was able to tell that there was a leak in the AC system but said that he would charge it up and it would probably last me for the rest of the summer. They knew I was from out of town and they did exactly what I had asked them to do... make it so we could get home comfortably. Awesome service on short notice and reasonably priced!

Joey and his team did an amazing job! Fast, efficient, affordable, and honest! Highly recommended :)

Had some belts changed on an Xterra, and they did a great job!, Plan to go back with my truck later.

Love them people at this shop. They go above and beyond to make you feel like family

Called Folly Road Auto Repair to get a quote on replacement of A/C compressor, Belt tensioner, Serpentinen belt along with recharging unit.Joey called back and left a voice mail which I still have on my phone indicating the estimated of around $400 to include all the above for mentioned. I drop off the parts and the work is done and get the call to pick up the car. Upon starting the car A/C compressor noise is gone and car appears to blow cool air but not anything cold. I gave the car to my girlfriend who actually drives it and later that night she stated that A/C is not blowing cold air. Brought it back in and he advised that my A/C is leaking and Auto zone should take care of it. Went to Auto zone and they will exchange it but wants the old one back. Later that night I find all my records and stumbled upon my receipt from Folly Road Auto and to my surprise it stats that ( Does not unclude Air conditioning system recover, evacuate and/or recharge ) so I went back to talk with Joey and he said they did it but didnt charge me for it even though it stats in the exact wording above format that it wasnt. If my official receipt is accurate the A/C compressor would fail and it would be litterly like running a car without oil. The reality is he now wants $336 to replace my A/C compressor that was replaced less than a month ago. I would have been perhaps happy to split the price but it wasnt offered and Im tremendously disappointed.Im quit sure communication between Joey and his mechanic were unfortunately not on point and the A/C was not recharged as it should have been.Regarding I did it for no cost and the receipt is incorrect excuse?Im not sold on that one, but it sounds nice!

This place is amazing, they dont try to rip you off, theyre super helpful and fast. Highly recommend.

Great reliable service. Quality work. Friendly, honest, will not return ur vehicle till they feel it is up to standards. Great pricing and reasonable. My husbands C1500 truck I thought there was no hope after 2 other shops. But Joey and his crew brought it back to life. He would not return it to us until he felt it was right. Just Wednesday I called him about my GMC Terrain told him I had purchased the part and what I was told was wrong. Going from a 1500 Dollar repair to less that 400. That is a company that cars about people. His father was the same way to My parents when I was young. I would give them a 5 star anyday. Try Folly Road Auto u will leave with a great smile and money in your pocket. Thank you Joey a d your team. Fabulous work. God Bless You All.The Mack Family.

Traveled from Massachusetts for vacation on Kiawah Island, S.C. Heard noise like scraping under right wheel tire. Tried to go to Toyota and Pep Boys, not knowing where else to go. We could see what we thought was the problem (a piece of rubber with a screw attached) however both those places insisted they could not look and we needed an appointment for the following week. We were heading back home and obviously nervous to drive until we were sure of problem. Looked on Internet and found Folly Rd Auto Repair, which fortunately was not too far from where we were staying. Pulled in, gentleman came out immediately, looked under the car, got a screw driver and removed a piece of mud flap that had partially broken off. 5 minutes and no charge. Thank you. I am sorry I did not get the repairmans name .Hopefully we will not ever need his services and he knew that. I would highly recommend this repair shop to anyone in this area.

One of the best need anything auto shops in Charleston.

In and out quickly with a good price.

Best auto shop in Charleston! Wont go anywhere else.

Good quik service

Been going to these guys for over 10 years. Tried others but keep on coming back to them. THey get me in and get me out quick

Great crew. Honest, fair, extremely knowledgeable

These guys were great. They finished in the time they promised and were very helpful.

For complete motor rebuild these guys are the place to go! Very professional, helpful and fast!

Took it in for an alternator and a radiator hose to be changed, they kept it for a week, fixed the hose charged me $150 for that, then said they didnt have the time to change the alternator a second time after the first one they had didnt charge it, and that i need to pick it up

These guys take forever to fix anything. dont waste your time.

Professional, reasonably priced and a quick turnaround

Honest work and fair prices. I wont take my car anywhere else.

Super friendly and wonderful service!!! Especially considering everything was serviced the same day :)

Very friendly and timely, but charged me to fix my tire and couldn’t fix it and told me to go down the street to the tire shop?

Overcharged for them to fix a hose. Needed to be re-repaired two weeks later. Come to find out they charged me double what the original fix should have cost.

Fast and reasonably priced

Called and spoke to Joey, had him price labor for my alternator and he was very high. Called Berts autoworks and he had me in and out within 2 hours and was a hell of a lot cheaper.

Great work and fast
